Introduction

Imagine a bustling hair salon, scissors snipping, dryers whirring, and amidst it all, Crystal Sales, a master hairstylist and a mother of three. For 21 years, Crystal has been an expert in transforming appearances, but her most significant transformation wasn’t at the salon – it was her own journey of shedding 110 pounds through the Carnivore Diet.

Crystal’s struggle with weight began in puberty and spiraled over the years. A brief period of balance in her early 20s gave way to the challenges of motherhood. After her third child, Crystal found herself at her heaviest, 260 pounds, feeling out of control and seeking a change. This change came in the form of the keto diet, introduced by a friend, leading her to lose significant weight. But it was the transition to a carnivore diet that marked the turning point towards optimal health and wellness.

Now, not only does Crystal run her successful salon, but she’s also an enthusiastic advocate and recipe developer for the carnivore diet. With her passion for food and cooking, she’s merged her two loves – styling and culinary creativity. Crystal’s story is not just about weight loss; it’s a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the power of a diet in transforming one’s life.

In this blog post, we dive into Crystal’s inspiring story, exploring how she navigated the challenges of the carnivore diet, the remarkable benefits she experienced, and her advice for anyone considering this lifestyle shift.

Crystal’s Transformation: A Deep Dive into Her Carnivore Journey

Crystal’s transformation is a testament to the power of dietary change and personal determination. Her journey started with the keto diet, a regime she followed strictly for a year. However, it was the switch to the carnivore diet that truly revolutionized her approach to health and wellness.

Discovering Carnivore: A New Perspective on Health

Curiosity and a desire for optimum health led Crystal to explore the carnivore diet. She was intrigued by the information she found on the potential drawbacks of plant-based foods, such as oxalates and lectins, in her regular keto diet. This revelation prompted her to experiment with an all-meat diet. Interestingly, Crystal’s shift to carnivore wasn’t driven by a need to lose weight or combat a prolonged illness; it was purely a quest for peak health.

Adapting to Carnivore: Balancing Strict Regime with Flexibility

Crystal’s approach to the carnivore diet was unique. She started with a strict all-meat diet for nearly a year before gradually reintroducing certain foods. Her goal was to observe how her body reacted to these additions. Despite these variations, Crystal found that she felt her best when adhering closely to a 100% carnivore diet, though she now maintains a 95% adherence, allowing for some variety in her meals.

Unveiled Benefits: Energy, Mood, and Physical Health

The benefits Crystal experienced on the carnivore diet were multifaceted. She noted a significant increase in consistent energy levels, which was a game-changer for her busy lifestyle. Alongside this, she observed improvements in mood stability, sleep quality, body composition, and even hair and nail growth. An unexpected bonus was the alleviation of eczema, with fewer flare-ups since starting the diet.

Overcoming Challenges: Social Acceptance and Diet Defense

Adopting a diet as unconventional as carnivore is not without its challenges. Crystal faced skepticism and had to frequently defend her dietary choices to friends and family. However, over time, as her health and vitality became evident, these conversations diminished. She stands as a living testament to the diet’s effectiveness, silencing critics with her thriving health.

Exercise and Carnivore: A Complementary Duo

Exercise played a crucial role in Crystal’s journey. Initially, her workouts were focused on managing loose skin, but as she adapted to the carnivore diet, her exercise regimen evolved. She now enjoys long walks and heavy resistance training at home, although she aspires to be more consistent with her routines.

Crystal’s Advice: Research, Start, and Personalize

For those contemplating the carnivore diet, Crystal’s advice is straightforward: do your research, especially regarding electrolytes and supplements, and then dive in. She emphasizes the importance of not getting too stressed about the details and adjusting the diet to find what works best individually.

Benefit 1: Enhanced Energy and Physical Health

One of the most profound benefits Crystal experienced on the Carnivore Diet was a remarkable boost in her energy levels. This consistent surge of vitality was crucial for her demanding role as a business owner, hairstylist, and mother. The diet’s high protein and fat content provided sustained energy, unlike the quick spikes and crashes associated with carbohydrate-rich diets.

Impact on Physical Health

The Carnivore Diet also had a significant impact on Crystal’s physical health. She noticed an improvement in her body composition, experiencing a more toned and lean physique. This is a common benefit reported by many who adopt this diet, as the high intake of protein supports muscle maintenance and growth. Crystal also mentioned improvements in her skin, hair, and nails, attributing these changes to the nutrient-rich, whole-food nature of the diet.

Benefit 2: Mood Stability and Mental Clarity

Another notable benefit Crystal highlighted was an improvement in her mood and mental clarity. This aspect is often overlooked in discussions about diet, but it’s crucial. The Carnivore Diet’s elimination of sugar and processed foods can lead to more stable blood sugar levels, which in turn contributes to mood stability and improved mental focus.

Cognitive and Emotional Benefits

Mental clarity and emotional stability are essential for anyone juggling multiple responsibilities, as Crystal does. The Carnivore Diet, by reducing inflammation and stabilizing blood sugar, can enhance cognitive function and emotional well-being. This benefit is especially significant for individuals who have previously struggled with mood swings or mental fog.

Conclusion: A Life Transformed by the Carnivore Diet

Crystal Sales’ story is more than just a narrative of weight loss; it’s a powerful testament to the transformative potential of the Carnivore Diet. Her journey from struggling with postpartum weight to becoming a vibrant, energetic entrepreneur and mother showcases the profound impact that dietary changes can have on our lives.

Beyond Physical Health

While the physical benefits of the Carnivore Diet, such as weight loss and improved body composition, are significant, its impact on Crystal’s life extends much further. The diet has instilled in her a newfound sense of vitality, mental clarity, and emotional balance, allowing her to juggle her professional and personal responsibilities with remarkable efficiency and joy.

A Beacon of Inspiration

Crystal’s story serves as an inspiring example for anyone facing similar challenges. It underscores the idea that with the right approach, dedication, and willingness to embrace change, transformative health improvements are achievable. Her journey is a beacon of hope and encouragement for those looking to take control of their health and well-being.

The Power of Personal Choice

Ultimately, Crystal’s experience highlights the power of personal choice and the importance of finding a diet that aligns with one’s individual needs and goals. The Carnivore Diet may not be for everyone, but Crystal’s success story is a compelling reminder of the possibilities that await when we listen to our bodies and prioritize our health.

Interview with Cystal

1) Introduce Yourself.

My name is Crystal Sales. I am a wife and a mother to 3 beautiful children. Buy trade I am a Master Hairstylist. I run my own Hair salon. I’ve been doing hair for 21 years and running my salon for 6 years and love it. I’ve struggled with weight for most of my life, it started to be predominant during puberty and only spiralled from there. In my early 20s I was able to control it and had maintained A healthy weight by eating a balanced diet and frequently working out. I was able to maintain that for 4 years until I had kids.  I was 28 years old when my first child was born and 33 years old when my youngest was born. It wasn’t until I had my third child that I was at my all-time high with my weight 260 pounds and not able to control it. I had learned and was informed about the keto diet through a dear friend, who I will forever be grateful for. That is now almost 3 years ago and I am 110lbs lighter, and over the last year have just been working on maintaining. 

I’ve always been passionate about food and cooking. Fun fact I only ever wanted to be a hairstylist or a chef.  Now that I am keto carnivore enthusiast/recipe developer, I feel blessed that I get to do two things that I love the most!

2) How did you eat before Carnivore.

I had been eating strict/clean keto for a year before I had transitioned over to carnivore.

3) Why did you try Carnivore to begin with.

The more I learned about my health and feeling better with keto, the more reading and information I came across. That being mostlyhow toxic and how many anti-nutrients there are in a lot of the plant foods I was still eating on keto. Whether it be oxalates, lectin, Phytates etc. It was then that I decided to go carnivore. I feel a bit of an outsider here because I had already lost almost all of my weight prior to starting carnivore and had no prolonged illness or medical condition I was trying to cure. I was just on a mission to feel my optimum!

4) How do you personally approach the Carnivore Diet.

I’ve personally just try to do my best and not be dogmatic about it. I followed strict carnivore for close to a year and then slowly started to work things back one at a time to see how my body reacted. I’ve tried to incorporate the least offensive and toxic vegetables back into my diet, mostly for a little bit of texture and variety. Although I add things to my meals here and there for variety, I feel optimum following 100% carnivore and now aim for about 95%.

5) What benefits have you seen since starting the Carnivore Diet.

The biggest benefits I’ve experience going carnivore would be the increased/consistent energy.  There has been other positives as well, I have experienced better stable moods, better sleep, better body composition, skin, hair and nail growth. Aside from one hiccough with an allergic reaction last year I have had no eczema flare ups either.

6) What negatives have you found with the Carnivore Diet.

For me the biggest negative about the carnivore diet would definitely have to be defending my choices or explaining them to friends and family that just don’t understand. Or at least in the beginning anyways. People don’t tend to bring it up now, because they see that I am healthy, thriving and scurvy free and it’s been well over a year and a half. And really for most of them, they’re actually in no position to talk to me about diet, if you know what I mean.

7) Do you exercise on the Carnivore Diet, if so how do you find it and what do you do.

A couple months into my keto journey I would do crunches to help with some of the loose skin and push-ups to help with the loose skin in my arms but that was it. I did not start really working out in my journey until I was on carnivore for close to a month. Since starting I’ve switched up the types of workouts I do. When I started I was running and doing weight training in the gym. I have now switched to Long walks and heavier resistance training at home. Although I’m not as consistent as I would like to be I still do this a couple times a week, but aim for more.

8) What piece of advice would you give someone who is interested in trying this diet, but hasn’t taken the leap yet.

My suggestion would be to do your research as far as what you’ll need for electrolytes and supplements. At the same time, try not to get too stressed out or dogmatic about it and just start! You can always tweak things along the way, to find out what works best for you.

9) Do you think Carnivore will ever be accepted as a mainstream diet.

I truly do hope so! I believe we are truly meant to eat an animal-based diet. I feel most peoples Health issues would improve greatly by doing so. At this point though I’d just be happy to see keto as main stream…although I feel carnivore is optimal.

10) Anything you would like to add, and where can people follow you.

I would encourage people just to try. Originally I had tried, thinking I was only going to do 30 days and haven’t looked back. So at the very least give it the 30 day trial and see how you feel! It doesn’t have to be all ribeyes either! Eat the meat you crave and can afford. I have a ton of recipes and ideas on Instagram and have recently started my YouTube channel as well, so there are some recipes there too.
